72 * There are 3 basic jump table patterns:
74 * 1. jmpq *[rodata addr](,%reg,8)
76 * This is the most common case by far. It jumps to an address in a simple
77 * jump table which is stored in .rodata.
79 * 2. jmpq *[rodata addr](%rip)
81 * This is caused by a rare GCC quirk, currently only seen in three driver
82 * functions in the kernel, only with certain obscure non-distro configs.
84 * As part of an optimization, GCC makes a copy of an existing switch jump
85 * table, modifies it, and then hard-codes the jump (albeit with an indirect
86 * jump) to use a single entry in the table. The rest of the jump table and
87 * some of its jump targets remain as dead code.
89 * In such a case we can just crudely ignore all unreachable instruction
90 * warnings for the entire object file. Ideally we would just ignore them
91 * for the function, but that would require redesigning the code quite a
92 * bit. And honestly that's just not worth doing: unreachable instruction
93 * warnings are of questionable value anyway, and this is such a rare issue.
95 * 3. mov [rodata addr],%reg1
96 * ... some instructions ...
97 * jmpq *(%reg1,%reg2,8)
99 * This is a fairly uncommon pattern which is new for GCC 6. As of this
100 * writing, there are 11 occurrences of it in the allmodconfig kernel.
102 * As of GCC 7 there are quite a few more of these and the 'in between' code
103 * is significant. Esp. with KASAN enabled some of the code between the mov
104 * and jmpq uses .rodata itself, which can confuse things.
106 * TODO: Once we have DWARF CFI and smarter instruction decoding logic,
107 * ensure the same register is used in the mov and jump instructions.
109 * NOTE: MITIGATION_RETPOLINE made it harder still to decode dynamic jumps.
